Apple Seeds Second Beta of iOS 9.3.3 to Developers

Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming iOS 9.3.3 update to developers for testing purposes, two weeks after seeding the first beta of iOS 9.3.3 and three weeks after the public release of iOS 9.3.2, a minor bug fix update.

The second iOS 9.3.3 beta can be downloaded from the Apple Developer Center or over-the-air with the proper configuration profile installed.

As a minor 9.x.x update, iOS 9.3.3 appears to focus on under-the-hood bug fixes and performance improvements to address issues discovered since the release of iOS 9.3.2. No outward-facing changes or obvious bug fixes were found in the first beta of iOS 9.3.3.

There was originally no iOS 9.3.3 update released for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro because Apple needed to fix an iOS 9.3.2 bug that bricked some devices, but it was addressed in a new iOS 9.3.2 update last week. iOS 9.3.3 is now available for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.

We'll update this post with any changes that are found in the second iOS 9.3.3 beta.

With all these updates, I have a feeling that iOS 9 will be the last version to support 32-bit devices.

iOS 10 will probably be fully 64-bit, and Apple will be able to concentrate on fixing/improving a single 64-bit version of the frameworks.

I'll update, but I'm likely going to install the iOS 10 beta next week anyway.

With incremental (and possibly hazardous) updates coming down the pipe every month or so, and each update claiming to fix problems created by the previous update... how much confidence does that instill?
When this meme will end.

No, normally updates don't introduce problems, and normally they fix more bugs than they introduce.

The only "problem", is that most people don't have any bugs, no reason to complain, until they find a reason to complain, and claim that "it wasn't like that".

Should this be always the case of software developing? New release both introduce new bugs and fix old bugs, and cycle without seeing an end unless code is completely obsolete. Maybe, if the code base is bad enough, then the program will simply collapse and eventually cease working.
